Sometimes, we think the only way someone says "I love you" is if they actually say those three words, but that is not the case at all. There are so many ways people can say “I love you” and we just have to listen. Whether it is a friend, relative or significant other, so many people love you and appreciate you. Whenever you are feeling down or lonely, just remember you have more people that care about you than you think.

Love is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as, "a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person." When you actually think about it, love is so much more than that. There can be so many different ways people show that affection for someone they care about. Love is the strongest and most important thing there is out there.

So take a moment, close your eyes and think about those you love and those who love you. Think about all the different things that they have done for you. Think about what you have done for them. Is there more that you could be doing? Are you fully appreciating what they are doing for you? For someone who truly loves you, it's not the huge romantic gestures that show love. It’s the small, quiet things that sometimes go unnoticed that can show their truest feelings. Love does not have to be some complicated thing that is hard to express. The simple and easy things give love meaning. So take a moment to look at this list and think about how many people have said and done these things for you. You’ll be surprised to find out about how many people actually love you.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
